bug#45165: binutils-mesboot0 fails at configure, cannot find lex
Regardless of how Kconfig options interact with each other, it seems that this bug is only triggered when the effective kernel config (/proc/config.gz) contains the following: CONFIG_EXPERT=y # CONFIG_UID16 is not set Cheers, Carl Dong

Yes, that's idiomatic English, if that is what you were asking about. And I agree, the package definitions shouldn't include workarounds for CI problems.

bug#30210: pandoc not reproducible
Hi Ricardo, On Mon, 22 Jan 2018 at 19:09, Ricardo Wurmus wrote: > The ghc-pandoc package for version 1.17.2 cannot be built reproducibly. On my machine, with Guix cb68ae6, the usual: guix build pandoc –no-grafts guix build pandoc –no-grafts –check does not report a reproducibility issue. Idem with ghc-pandoc. Since, Pandoc is at 2.7.3 and without the parallel Haskell build system, it should be reproducible, I guess. Could you confirm? If ok for you, this bug report could be close. All the best, simon
bug#45980: Feature request: parameterized /var/guix/profiles/per-user
Hi, We have installed guix following this cluster documentation https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2017/11/installing-guix-on-a-cluster/ on Grid'5000 which is a testbed. In order to be more secure we did not want to export /var/guix with RW rights, we cannot trust root on the nodes. So for the user profile to work we did the following: - mount the user's home on the guix server - instead of letting guix create the user's profile on /var/guix/profiles/per-user we created symlink: ln -s /home/USER/.guix /var/guix/profiles/per-user/USER This way we can export /var/guix with RO rights and users can't see each others profiles. Another way would be to have a parameter to configure the /var/guix/profiles/per-user directory so the symlink mecanism would not be needed. For example guix could directly write in the user directory in /home/USER/.guix. Best regards, Dimitri Grid'5000 Techteam

If you mark it as #:substitutable? #f, then CI won’t try to build it but
users can still build it.
Now, I think we should avoid papering over CI configuration issues (did
I get that right?) by changing package definitions.
HTH!

bug#45978: kodi-cli error: "show_help: command not found"
kodi-cli is a bash script, and the 'show_help' function is called before it's defined. Not really something that can be fixed in Guix, Probably just needs an update.
bug#45835: (gnu machine digital-ocean) installs old Guix
Hi Mathieu, >> I also wonder if there might not be a better way to deploy Guix quickly, >> for example by using a relocatable pack of Guix and using “guix copy” >> instead of executing a shell script. > > I think that building a Guix System image and creating a droplet out of > it using the DigitalOcean API, as I described here[1] would be a better > solution. Yes, this seems better than installing Guix on an existing system (which costs time and possibly expensive bandwidth), and to replace the running system with it. FWIW, I wrote Guile AWS[1], which may be useful for doing the same with AWS as a backend. -- Ricardo [1]: https://git.elephly.net/?p=software/guile-aws.git
